Synopsis
Basketball legend Bill Russell pays homage to his mentor and coach, the inimitable Red Auerbach, in this story of an unlikely and enduring friendship set against the backdrop of the greatest basketball dynasty in NBA history. When Bill Russell joined the Boston Celtics in 1957 as the nation's first prominent black basketball star, he was not expecting much from his coach. Despite two national college championships and an Olympic gold medal, Russell's previous coaches--all whites--had barely spoken to him. Russell's style was unorthodox, redefining the meaning of defense and offense, and many scouts dismissed him. Yet Auerbach, the Jewish outsider in Irish Boston, immediately took to Russell, the African American from Louisiana and Oakland, and he was a coach like no other. Together they made sports history, battled prejudice both on and off the court, created a team chemistry for the ages--and became lifelong friends.--From publisher description. Boston Celtics legend Bill Russell fondly remembers his remarkable relationship with his coach Red Auerbach, with whom he won an unprecedented 11 championships in 13 seasons. In professional sports, the unfortunate fact is that winning is often the only thing that matters, but the legacy of Auerbach and Russell can not be displayed in a trophy case. Despite winning two NCAA championships and an Olympic gold medal, Russell had battled bitter racism at every level of his basketball career, often from his own teammates and coaches, and he expected the same from his NBA coach. But Auerbach, as a Jewish man in hardcore Catholic Boston, was no stranger to discrimination, and he immediately forged a special bond with his superstar center. Their friendship lasted long after both had retired, as they continued to speak regularly and help each other through life's tribulations. More than just a sports book, RED AND ME is a singular representation of the strength available to all of us through companionship and camaraderie.

Publisher's Note
An uplifting tribute to Red Auerbach describes how their collaborative efforts transcended race and cultural barriers to help establish the Boston Celtic's impressive record, in an account that covers such topics as their unique professional chemistry, their enduring friendship, and Auerbach's death in 2006.

Great read. Bought it brand new and read it 3 days. From a home of a non-smoker.
